    Congress made it illegal for anyone who wants to try and take away their funding.
    They intertwined the funding into their free press rights.
    This is a battle that fortunately Turd Lump will lose and those, such as myself, who are for free speech and press will be glad when he does.
    If you are for free speech and press then you will agree.

      There was never a Constitutional right for government funding of media organizations. You can argue and agree with stupid spending by Congress all you want, it doesn't mean freedom of speech or freedom of the press means government funding. That's not how free speech works. This is the part you're not understanding and all you do is listen to Democrat approved "experts" who tell you what to think. They call everything they like a right. You would most certainly oppose government funding to Fox News, as I do as well, but I'm consistent and not a partisan hack idiot.

        If you’re against Gov. funding to broadcast networks that need it then you’re for having their free press rights taken away.
        Why do you hate PBS and NPR so much?
        They are not biased as obviously Fox and CNN are.
        I dunno why Repubs. hate them so much.

          No, that's not true. That'd be like me saying I want to start a broadcast network but I need government funding and if they deny it to me that means they are taking away my free press rights. Sorry, again, you have a gross misunderstanding on how rights work.
          Why do you hate PBS and NPR so much?
          They are not biased as obviously Fox and CNN are.
          Their editorial board is made up 100% of registered Democrats and not one single registered Republican. I have a bridge I would like to sell you.
          But again, them being partisan or not is completely irrelevant, and whether I like the organizations or not is irrelevant, state sponsored media shouldn't exist. They can broadcast whatever they want within the open market, and people can decide to watch them or not. Choosing not to send tax payer funds to them is not a violation of free speech.

            It’s intertwined with the CPB.
            Wanting to take away their funding is violating their free speech and press rights.
            Interesting that you think the constitution is fluid or flexible for your agenda only but not others you disagree with.
            If TACO Turd Lump could he would shut down all networks he disagrees with and you know that.
            Only reason he doesn’t is because he can’t since they rely on advertising.

              It's not, though, you won't find government funding of the press anywhere in the Constitution. This is not how free speech works.
              Interesting that you think the constitution is fluid or flexible for your agenda only but not others you disagree with.
              Lol, based on what? I oppose government funding for all media organizations, left and right, because the government has no business, responsibility, obligation or Constitutional authority to fund their own media organizations with our money. As always my views on this are consistent across the board as well as consistent with the Constitution. Your statement there is baseless and retarded.
              If TACO Turd Lump could he would shut down all networks he disagrees with and you know that.
              Yeah probably, just like Democrats would if they could, like they've tried for years with Fox or how they've tried bullying social media companies into suppressing news outlets they don't like or how they bring ridiculous lawsuits against independent media companies and put them in front of radical leftist judges to bankrupt them.
              So yes, these government clowns definitely would if they could, but in this country we have free speech and freedom of the press, which protects us from the government, it does not include government funding, though.

                        Being a left leaning progressive which means I’m too open minded to be a conservaturd and too radical to be a liberal…
                        I disagree with the Dummycraps who are now more conservative from selling out and becoming corporate whores.
                        They used to be liberal and it was easier to tell the difference between them and the Retardagains.
                        Now?
                        Not so much.
                        Look at the war mongers they have had lately.

                                    As a leftist who was raised in a very evangelical environment, the abortion issue is something I actually came around on very gradually.

                                        Are you a welfare queen, sir?

                                          Right, but I think there is more than one type of welfare queen and consider the ones who receive American tax dollars to prop up their failing businesses to be the greater public menace.
